Ingredients Details
Milk Protein Extract
Common Name(s): Milk protein extract
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides antioxidant protection, soothing anti-inflammatory effects, and skin-conditioning benefits through plant-derived polyphenols and phytochemicals.
Why It's Used: Plant extracts concentrate bioactive phytochemicals evolved for environmental protection โ uv, microbial, and oxidative stressors โ that translate to skin benefits.
How It Works: Polyphenols (flavonoids, phenolic acids) inhibit nf-ฮบb-mediated inflammatory signaling, scavenge reactive oxygen species through electron donation, and chelate pro-oxidant metal ions to reduce oxidative skin damage.
Typically Found In: Serums,toners,moisturizers,masks,essences
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Botanical extracts
Secondary Functions: Antioxidant,anti-inflammatory
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1โ10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: No
Halal Status: Conditional
Source Notes: Contains animal-derived components (milk protein extract...); not suitable for vegan formulations.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1
Comedogenicity Rating: 0
Sensitivity Concerns: Low sensitization potential at recommended use concentrations.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Conditional
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Well-characterized cosmetic ingredient with established safety profile. generally non-irritating at typical use concentrations. suitable for leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,hyaluronic acid,vitamin c,ceramides
Avoid Combining With: Strong oxidizing agents
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Plant secondary metabolites (flavonoids, terpenes, phenolic acids) are biosynthesized as defense compounds against uv, herbivores, and pathogens. their anti-inflammatory activity typically derives from competitive inhibition of cox-2 and 5-lox enzymes (ic50 1โ50 ยตm), while antioxidant activity involves single electron transfer (set) and hydrogen atom transfer (hat) mechanisms with structure-dependent rate constants.

Sodium Lactate
Common Name(s): Sodium l-lactate,lactic acid sodium salt
CAS Number: 72-17-3
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides superior nmf humectant activity alongside ph buffering in the optimal 4-6 cosmetic range.
Why It's Used: Primary nmf lactic acid-derived humectant with superior water binding vs glycerin and natural-origin skin compatibility.
How It Works: Sodium salt of lactic acid provides excellent water binding from both carboxylate and hydroxyl groups. highly hygroscopic โ superior to glycerin at equivalent concentration at 50-80% relative humidity. nmf component produced from filaggrin proteolysis in cornification.
Typically Found In: Nmf serums,premium moisturizers,ph-buffered formulations
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ nmf lactic acid salt
Secondary Functions: Primary nmf lactate,superior hygroscopicity
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 2%โ10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ fermentation-derived or synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Sodium lactate's hygroscopicity (water absorption at 25ยฐc, 80% rh) is approximately 1.8ร that of glycerin at equivalent concentrations โ making it functionally superior as a humectant per unit weight. this superior water binding combined with natural nmf provenance (lactic acid from filaggrin proteolysis) makes it a biomimetically superior humectant to glycerin.
